Super excited to see our new paper published today, led by @shahidyounis.bsky.social as part of his MSc work. We present the glacial and periglacial geomorphology of the Drang Drung, Haskira, and Pensilungpa glaciers in the Indian Himalayas. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Glacial and periglacial geomorphology of the Drang Drung, Haskira, and Pensilungpa glaciers, Trans-Himalayan Ladakh, India

Glacial geomorphological mapping is vital for understanding the role of glaciers in shaping landscapes, as well as glacier response to climate change. We present a glacial geomorphological map of t...

The Sikkim flood of October 2023: Drivers, causes, and impacts of a multihazard cascade

On 3 October 2023, a multihazard cascade in the Sikkim Himalaya, India, was triggered by 14.7 million cubic meters of frozen lateral moraine collapsing into South Lhonak Lake. The impact generated an ...
